By Dr. Zawwar Hussain In global politics, there are certain locations where geography transcends the mere presence of land and water and becomes a convergence of power, economics, and history. The Strait of Hormuz is one such place. Often described as the lifeline of the world’s energy supply, this narrow waterway stretches only a few dozen kilometers across, yet its influence extends across continents. If Iran were to take the drastic step of blocking this passage, the repercussions would not be confined to the Gulf region alone. The global economic order, military alliances, and the strategic calculations of emerging powers…
By Wasim Jamal Across Pakistan, social security institutions serve as a vital pillar of protection for the working class. Since the country’s inception, they have carried forward their mandate despite persistent financial and administrative constraints. In their early years, services were confined to a handful of major cities and largely limited to workers in the textile sector. Over time, however, these institutions have evolved into expansive, structured organizations, extending their reach across provinces and industries. Following the dissolution of the One Unit system, the Sindh Employees Social Security Institution formally began its independent operations in 1971. Today, SESSI manages an…
By Alia Zarar Khan The scenes outside the U.S. Consulate in recent days have been both troubling and dispiriting. At a moment when the world is already weighed down by violence and deepening geopolitical strain, the targeting of a diplomatic mission on Pakistani soil reflects neither moral courage nor political maturity. It is, instead, an act of recklessness that risks compounding crisis with self-inflicted harm. Public anger, wherever it arises, does not exist in a vacuum. Many citizens feel anguish at unfolding global events and a sense of helplessness in the face of distant atrocities. That emotion is real. It…
By Abdul Qadir DADU: Retired employees staged a protest outside the Dadu Press Club near the National Bank branch, demanding immediate release of their pending salaries. Led by Naseer Ahmed Channa, the protesters raised slogans against what they described as corrupt practices by employees of the Treasury Office Dadu. They said five days have passed and repeated visits to the bank have failed to resolve the issue.

By Mujeeb Rahman MEHAR: Two laborers were injured when a portion of the roof collapsed during renovation work in the newly constructed surgical ward at Taluka Hospital Mehar. The incident caused panic among hospital staff and workers present at the site. The injured were identified as Saddam Hussain Khaskheli and Muhammad Yousuf. They were shifted to the hospital’s emergency ward and are reported to be in serious condition.

As Washington and Tel Aviv intensified their joint military pressure on Tehran, the world’s gaze turned instinctively towards Iran’s most powerful partners. Questions abounded: why had Russia and China, both deeply invested in the region, confined themselves largely to verbal condemnations rather than decisive action? On the surface, the answers seemed simple. Moscow and Beijing had protested, but they had stopped short of any tangible military or coercive engagement. Yet beneath this apparent inaction lay a complex calculus, one shaped not merely by geopolitical loyalty but by a careful assessment of risk, capability, and long-term strategy. Moscow’s response was swift…
By Dr. Zawwar Hussain Pakistan’s launch of Operation Ghazab lil Haq is far more than a mere military maneuver. It is a statement of sovereign resolve, a reaffirmation that national integrity, territorial security, and internal stability are not negotiable commodities in a world shaped by the shifting whims of global power. When a nation rises to defend its people and its borders, it does more than mobilize troops; it mobilizes conscience, conviction, and collective will. In such defining moments, the character of a nation is tested. Does it fracture under pressure, or does it harden, like tempered steel, through unity…
